No more clumping!Oh, I LOVE these products! Super tight seal with an attached terra-cotta disc (that you immerse in water) ensures that there’s no more crystallization. Perfect for bakers or even for those who have long stretches between baking to keep that sugar fresh!

My brown sugar is happy!These containers are sized more appropriately to products you want to put in them, and they seal more tightly than Oxo pop top containers.

Working so farOnly been using for a few months but the best solution I've found so far for keeping brown sugar moist (and I've tried a lot in over 20 years of baking).

Terra Cotta disk does nothingI was super excited to organize our kitchen, and in the process, I purchased a number of the ProKeeper containers. To be fair, we really like the ones for sugar, flour and sugar. That said, the one for brown sugar works terribly here in my New England home.
The directions call for the user to soak the terra cotta disk for 15 minutes every 3 months; however, in my short experience with this container, after only 1 month, the disk was completely dry and the brown sugar on the top layer turned brick hard. I thought I'd give it another chance, so again, I soaked the disk. The second time, I soaked it for 30 minutes. Again, weeks later, similar results: the top layer became brick hard and unusable.
I must be a glutton for punishment, because I would not give up. Again, I soaked the disk, and several weeks later, brick-hard brown sugar. It's ruined over a pound of brown sugar. At this point, it's been 4 or 5 months since I purchased this container, and I'd love to return it. I think it makes more sense for me to store the actual brown sugar bags inside a regular ProKeeper container, but then, what's the point in having one at all. Sigh.

No more hard brown sugar!Tired of having to pound my brown sugar into manageable bits, I bought this container. It works, it really does! I have had this for about 3 months now, and each time I reach for the sugar, it is just as loose as the day I put it in there. I do soak the disk in water and place it directly into the sugar (after drying the disk), just like the video. Since I use the sugar maybe once a month, it is easy to remember to soak the disk for a few minutes and then put it back into the sugar before storing it away.

I bought this really liking the idea of not having brown sugar with rock hard bits in it. The terra cotta disc works well in keeping the sugar from hardening. The one con I have for this design is that the clips on the upper lid that holds the disc broke very easily. It broke within a couple days of having it so now the disc can not be clipped to top lid. It holds a large amount of brown sugar and I can stack other containers of the same style on top of it easily.
I would recommend this for a brown sugar container despite the poor design flaw of the clips. Hopefully the Container Store design team updates this feature of the product.

Where do I put the damp terra cotta disk?

I am confused about where I should place the damp terra cotta disk after I soaked it. Do I place it inside the lid or inside the bin (in brown sugar).
Thank you,
Bambi

Asked by: Bambalina81

The damp disk fits under the cover. There are four raised areas that hold the disk in place.

Does this hold 1 or 2 pounds of brown sugar? That is, does it hold 1 box or 2?

How often do you soak the terra cotta disk?

I love my container but how often do you soak the disk to keep the brown sugar moist?

Asked by: MarceiaD

Usually when I need to put another 2 lb bag of brown sugar in the container or every 3 months- whichever comes first.

Does the disc get moldy?

I don't use brown sugar that often, so I'm concerned that the wet terra cotta disk would get moldy. Has anyone had that problem? Thanks!

Asked by: segcube

I&rsquo;ve never had that problem. After soaking for 10 minutes I dry the drips off and then attach to the lid.

Multi use containers?

Can you use each container for other things? I have regular sugar in my brown sugar container. I also have pasta in my regular sugar container. I was thinking to put rice in my regular sugar container, or do I need to use the grain probkeeper? Thanks
